[G. H. M'Gill's account], this may seem a misprint but [M'Gill] is an existing name.

As the text below "DIGBY OF MILTON" suggests, the placename [Milton] should be [Tilton]. Confirmation for this has been found in "the Leicestershire Historian", vol. 2, no. 8 (the article "The Tilton Family in America and its Link with Tilton on the Hill" written by Peter D. A. Blakesley), page 7: "... the family of Digby, lords of the manor of Tilton from the twelfth century until the seventeenth century, when the manor was sold." [DIGBY OF MILTON, BARON] -> [DIGBY OF TILTON, BARON]

Another misprint for [Tilton] has been found in the "Index": [Digby of Minton, 76] -> [Digby of Tilton, 76]

The author used asterixes to indicate notes. Unfortunately 3 asterixes lack an explanation. They are located at: [Leicestershire, iv. pt. 2. p. 519.*] [Leicestershire, iii. pt. 2, p. 1009*] [ii. pt. i. p. *261;]

The word [coheiress] also occurs with the notation [co-heiress]. Both notations have been maintained.

The plain text file of this ebook uses underscores to indicate italic text and plus signs to indicate a bold Gothic typeface.

Each family description starts with an illustration representing their arms. In the plain text file these have been replaced with [Illustration].

A few cases of punctuation errors were corrected, but are not mentioned here. ]
